That’s a lot of sushi: Tuna weighing as much as a grizzly bear sells for $1.3M in Japan
A bluefin tuna sold for $1.3 million at a predawn auction in Tokyo on Sunday morning, making it one of the most expensive tuna to be sold in the history of sushi. The 608-pound fish, equivalent in weight to a typical male grizzly bear, was caught off the coast of Oma in northern Japan’s Aomori prefecture on Saturday morning, according to Japan’s Kyodo News agency. The fish was sold to a Michelin-starred Japanese sushi restaurant chain for 207 million yen, the Onodera Group said in a statement about its winning bid.
